{"product_id":"9781420942279","title":"The Green Helmet","description":"William Butler Yeats was born near Dublin in 1865, and was encouraged from a young age to pursue a life in the arts. He attended art school for a short while, but soon found that his talents and interest lay in poetry rather than painting. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. These writings helped secure the writer recognition as a leading proponent of Irish nationalism and Irish cultural independence. Yeats produced a series of plays based on the legendary Irish hero Cuchulain, a tale that dates from the ninth or tenth century. \"The Green Helmet\" describes Cuchulain's return from battle, when he discovers that a friend has become indebted to the Red man for a very unusual item, a head. Written in the Noh tradition, this dramatic play marks a period of significant literary and political change for Yeats.","brand":"Neeland Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127764631792,"sku":"9781420942279","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420942279_p0.jpg?v=1763730173","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420942279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
